Irving Berlin - Gee I Wish I Was Back In The Army Chords

[Intro]
C7   F              C7
When I was mustered out
  F                 C7
I thought without a doubt
     F     F7           D7              Gm Gm6  Gmaj7
That I was through with all my care and strife
  Gm                 D7
I thought that I was then
    Gm          D7
The happiest of men
    G7sus           G7             C7  Gm/D  Eb7  C7
But after months of tough civilian life
 
[Verse]
F                             Fdim  F
Gee, I wish I was back in the Ar----my
                       G7     Gm  Eb7  C7
The Army wasn't really bad at all
Gm7           C7
Three meals a day
    F         Am7b5  D7
For which you didn't pay
G7                              Gm7  C7  Gm7  C7b5b9
Uniforms for winter, spring and fall
F                                Fdim  F7
There's a lot to be said for the Ar----my
                    Cm   F7  Bb  Bbm
The life without responsibility
  F              Dm7
A soldier out of luck
    G9
Was really never stuck
        C7             Gm7    C7
There's always someone higher up
      F
Where you can pass the buck
C#7 Gm7                           C7  F
Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Ar--my
 
[Verse]

Gee, I wish I was back in the Ar---my
                          G7     Gm  Eb7  C7
The Army was the place to find romance
Gm7          C7
Soldiers and WACS
    F        Am7b5      D7
The WACS who dressed in slacks
G7                                  Gm7  C7  Gm7  C7b5b9
Dancing cheek to cheek and pants to pants
F                                Fdim F
There's a lot to be said for the Ar---my
                 Cm      F7  Bb  Bbm
A gal was never lost for company
  F                Dm7
A million handsome guys
     G9
With longing in their eyes
    C7             Gm7    C7
And all you had to do was pick
    F
The age, the weight, the size
C#7 Gm7                           C7  F
Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Ar--my
 
[Verse]
F                             Fdim F
Gee, I wish I was back in the Ar---my
                           G7       Gm Eb7  C7
The shows we got civilians couldn't see
Gm7          C7       F        Am7b5  D7
How we would yell for Dietrich and Cornell
G7                             Gm7  C7  Gm7  C7b5b9
Jolson, Hope and Benny all for free
F                                Fdim  F
There's a lot to be said for the Ar----my
                    Cm          F7     Bb  Bbm
The best of doctors watched you carefully
  F             Dm7
A dentist and a clerk
    G9
For weeks and weeks they'd work
       C7              Gm7    C7
They'd make a thousand dollar job
    F
And give it to a jerk
C#7 Gm7                           C7    F
Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army

Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army now
